Ahh but Cat High produced a prince who has led a great nation for over a decade and served the nation diligently for several decades prior. I'd say RI pales in comparison.

I recognized her from that photo, but cannot recall her name.
Her surname is not Kwek.

Her name was Quek Wan Yue.....

Quek = Kwek

shit! this thread is for old folks to gather around to feel nostalgic and later on get depressed.

but i admire RI boys, really smart. those inferior quality sinkies from some dun know what schools always jealous of those from RI and SAP schools, and they always like to play politics at work and sidelined those from good schools. a general observance.:o

Though I regard Benny as one of the best, the "joining as lowly constable is misleading". It was special NS avoidance scheme that old man agreed to after being pressured by rich businessmen and VVIPs for their kids. Instead of serving their NS in SAF, they could sign on for 5 years as regular and paid regular salary and they are deemed to have completed their NS obligation. The best is that they could seek deferment after 2 years and go and do their University studies. They would return during university term breaks and end of year holidays and these can be added up towards the obligation. When they graduate, they are automatically made acting Inspectors until they complete their remaining obligations or get promote while under the scheme. When Benny came back from his studies he was promoted as a regular to ASP as he had 1st class honours.

Benny has always been overweight all his life and SAF was not going to be a place to be. By the way, Benny's father and old man were long time friends.
